Playing career

[edit | edit source]

University College Cork

[edit | edit source]

As a student at University College Cork, Montgomery earned selection on the university's top hurling team. He was a member of the extended panel when UCC claimed the 2019 Fitzgibbon Cup after a 2-21 to 0-13 defeat of Mary Immaculate College in the final.[2] Montgomery remained a peripheral member of the team for the 2020 Fitzgibbon Cup. In spite of this, he ended the campaign with a second successive Fitzgibbon Cup medal after coming on as a substitute in the 0-18 to 2-11 defeat of the Institute of Technology, Carlow in the 2020 final.[3]

Abbeyside–Ballinacourty

[edit | edit source]

Montgomery first came to prominence as a hurler with the Abbeyside club, while also playing Gaelic football with sister club Ballinacourty. He enjoyed divisional success in both codes with the respective under-21 teams.

On 7 October 2018, Montgomery was selected at right wing-forward when Abbeyside qualified for the 2018 county final against Ballygunner. He was held scoreless over the hour as Abbeyside suffered a 2-19 to 0-13 defeat.[4]

Waterford

[edit | edit source]

Minor and under-21

[edit | edit source]

Montgomery first played for Waterford as a member of the minor team during the 2016 Munster Minor Championship. He made his debut in that grade on 6 April 2016 when he lined out at full-forward in a 0-17 to 1-10 defeat by Cork, before ending the season without success.[5] Montgomery was subsequently drafted onto the Waterford under-21 team, making his first appearance in a 0-23 to 1-17 defeat by Cork in the 2018 Munster semi-final.[6] A change in the age limit meant that Montgomery was overage for the following year's championship.

Senior

[edit | edit source]

Montgomery was drafted onto the Waterford senior team by new manager Liam Cahill in advance of the 2020 Munster League. He made his first competitive appearance in a 1-17 to 1-13 defeat by Cork on the opening round of the pre-season competition.[7] Montgomery was subsequently included on Waterford's National League panel and made his first appearance in that competition in a 1-24 to 3-17 victory over Cork in the first round.[8] Montgomery made his championship debut on 31 October 2020, when he came on as a 62nd-minute substitute for Jack Fagan in a 1-28 to 1-24 defeat of Cork in the Munster semi-final.[9] He was again introduced as a substitute after starting on the bench when Waterford suffered a 0-25 to 0-21 defeat by Limerick in the 2020 Munster final.[10] After making appearances of the bench in subsequent defeats of Clare and Kilkenny, Montgomery received his first starting fifteen berth when he was named at centre-forward for the 2020 All-Ireland final against Limerick.[11]
